Sons of Trigon Legendary Access Preview!
Sons of Trigon picks up where the Sins of the Father storyline left off. Through blood ritual, Trigon had escaped his dimension and was preparing to attack the Earth. However, in secret, the Sentinels of Magic had prepared a contingency plan and created a barrier between our realm and his. Now trapped between worlds, Trigon’s evil burns like fire, creating a nightmare version of Gotham City – a torturous plane that exists independently to the mortal plane. Circe and Wonder Woman race to confront Trigon and his newly-revealed sons on a mission for power or peace.
New Shared Space: Gotham Wastelands

Broker
- The Mail and Broker Terminals in each wing of the Hall of Doom and the Watchtower have been moved to be closer to the banks. This is to improve performance and player relevancy.
- Players who have used a Character Name Change Device will once again be able to correctly interact with items they listed on the Broker before using the device.
Character Creation
- Corrected an issue causing the player character to use a jump animation during character creation.
Combat
- Brawler, Hand Blast, Martial Arts: Fixed animation bug where characters would play an upper body running animation when walking while in combat.
General
- Fixed a visual animation bug caused by abilities executed immediately after breaking out of an encasement.
- Critical Hit bubbles have been restored. Players have the option to toggle this off with an option under Settings>UI>Show Critical Hit Bubble.
- Vehicular traffic in Metropolis and Gotham City should no longer move faster than normal around street corners.
- As the age of sin begins, demon NPCs in Metropolis and Gotham City have had their colors and materials adjusted to more closely match the demon NPCs in Sons of Trigon content.
- Item: Demon Figurine: Player combat visual effects and animations should now play properly while in Demon player form.
- Resolved an issue where the camera turns in the wrong direction when exiting movement mode after watching a cinematic.
- Fixed an issue causing visual effects to not play when consuming colas.
Loot System Changes
- We have changed the way loot is dropped for players in Origin Crisis and soon to be released Sons of Trigon content. This affects multiplayer PVE content only, i.e. Duos, Alerts and Raids (and their Operation counterparts).
- Players that defeat a boss or sub-boss will get their own loot that is separate from other player's loot, meaning players will instantly receive their loot and will no longer roll against other players. This includes items that are not guaranteed to always drop such as Research and Development plans or Utility Belts. Some players may receive these items from a boss, while others might not.
- It is important to note that items dropped from regular non-boss NPCs are not included in these changes, and will be rolled on by the group as they do currently.
NPCs
- Fixed animation bug where NPCs would walk funny when using a slow animation.
